Police are searching for two men they say held up a South Fulton IHOP early Friday morning as customers dined.

The men entered the restaurant along Flat Shoals Road about 3 a.m. and headed toward the office, police said.

One man removed a safe while the other stood outside the office near the kitchen with a handgun, South Fulton police said in a Facebook post.

None of the customers reported injuries.

Anyone who recognizes the men from the store’s surveillance footage is asked to contact South Fulton detectives at 470-809-7357 or Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477.
